Healthcare Debt Collection

Unfortunately, according to statistics from NPR, medical care debt collection is the number one area in debt collection. More than half of all collection calls to consumers are regarding medical debt. It may be because the patient cannot pay the debt, has forgotten about it or for other reasons, but the bottom line is the amount of unpaid medical bills is staggering.

Medical practitioners need to get paid. To continue to care for patients and keep their practice going, they need the payment. Debt collection is not easy, and sometimes it’s necessary to turn to a professional collection agency.

What can the professionals do?
